system tools and antivirus scanners. Not all rootkits are malicious by
themselves but they are often used to hide viruses, worms, trojans
and spyware.

A computer, or a piece of software, that provides a specific kind of
service to client software.
Service
Service, short for Network Service, means a service that is available
on the network, e.g. file sharing, remote console access, or web
browsing. Most often described by what protocol and port it uses.
SMTP

between end-user computers and mail servers.

devices. In F-Secure Policy Manager it is used for sending and
monitoring alerts and statistics.
Spyware
Spyware is a software, which tracks user information and reports it
without your knowledge via the Internet to third parties. Usually
spyware collects information about your web browsing behavior for
advertising purposes, but it can also transfer your personal
information or files from your computer, monitor keystrokes or change
your web browser configuration.Spyware applications can be installed
to your computer without your authorization or knowledge as a part of
some other software you install.
